Abstract
Introduction. Man is a psycho-kinetics unity, and the development of the movement sphere is parallel and mutually dependent on the psychic sphere. Movement is genetically conditioned, hence inscribed in the life program of a man. It is indispensable to gain new experience and that in turn enables the establishment of order in the world and an even more rational way of moving within it. The rationality depends on the level of orientation in the „body scheme”. The concept of this scheme is related to the way of feeling one’s own body and to the knowledge of it. The process of developing the “body scheme” in the consciousness of man is closely related to the amount of motor experience. This notion, in the science on human movement, may be identified with the „body feeling”. Despite the great significance of this notion in the effectiveness of teaching movement not often was it the subject of research.The aim of the work. In the ample literature dealing with movement coordination there is lack of reports concerning the relationship between the level of movement coordination and the „body scheme”. Hence, the aim of the research works was to: define the correlation existing between the level of global movement coordination and the orientation in the “body scheme”.Material and method. The research involved 69 children aged 8–13 (the average age was 10.5) who studied in a public school. There were 35 girls and 34 boys. The level of global movement coordination was assessed by a test of W. Starosta [1, 2], whereas the orientation in the „body scheme” was evaluated by a test of C. Daurat et al. [3].Results. As a result of the analysis of the research material, the occurrence of numerous and strong correlation between global movement coordination and orientation in the „body scheme” was ascertained.Conclusion. The results of the global coordination test most often correlated with those tasks of the „body scheme test” in which the tested subjects appealed to the knowledge of their body, created basing on kinesthetic impressions in which the body image was most generic.
